replacement key for 2001 9-3 hatchback - 1/15/2007 8:54:37 AM    Jenn2222   Posts: 1 Joined: 1/14/2007 Status: offline Hello, I am new to this forum and a new saab owner as well. I bought a 2001 9-3 hatchback a few months ago and am absolutely loving it - but have already lost one key. The car came with 2 keys so I only have one now, and am trying to replace the other. The dealer can replace and program a new key for about $200. I have heard from various people that you can buy keys on ebay and just bring them into the dealer to have them programed to work with your car for a lot cheaper. All of the keys I have found for purchase online are used - this confuses me....doesn't the key need to be cut to fit in my lock? Is it possible to buy a used key for my saab? Thanks! I've added a photo of the used key I found online. Thumbnail Image Attachment (1) Post #: 1
